FBI Discovers Homegrown Islamic Terror Compound In Alabama
2019-05-13
[DAILYCALLER] The FBI has uncovered a homegrown, jihadist compound in the small Alabama town of Macon County.

The FBI’s search warrant described the property as a "makeshift military-style obstacle course" in a story first reported by Sinclair Broadcast Group. The land where the group gathered reportedly looked like an "abandoned dump," and was led by Siraj Wahhaj,
...also known as Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Sirraj Ibn Wahhaj. Siraj [Jr.] is the son of Siraj Wahhaj [Sr.], a Brooklyn imam whose mother welcomed him into the world as Jeffrey Kearse. Siraj Sr. was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a character witness in the trial of convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (“the blind sheikh”), and is connected to the several branches of the Moslem Brotherhood in America. He currently mentors pussy hat leader Linda Sarsour....
who allegedly trained children to commit school shootings in a similar terrorist breeding ground in New Mexico last year.

Wahhaj and four other alleged Islamic Lions of Islam were indicted on terrorism, kidnapping, and firearm violation charges earlier this year.

In an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group, former FBI agent Tim Fuhrman warned of the increasing threats of domestic terror that "exists in every region of the United States and affects all walks of life."

"Just because you’re in a small town or a small state does not mean you might not potentially have individuals engaged in the types of activities that would call into question threats to national security," Fuhrman said.

The FBI is currently involved in 850 domestic terrorism investigations, Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity said earlier this week while speaking to the House Homeland Security Committee, according to CNN.

"The FBI assesses domestic turbans collectively pose a persistent and evolving threat of violence and economic harm to the United States," McGarrity said.

#12  OK, FBI, we already knew about the Islambergs you're letting harbor fugitives.

#11  So the fbi found 2 in a year

Back in 2007 there were at least a dozen known islamic terror camps. The FBI hasn't closed half that. A hold over over Muller and Comey removing islamic terrorism from the FBI lexicon.

Fox? Not a chance. Gone liberal.

#10  So will Linda Sarsour be investigated too ? Ideally, all his mentees would be recruits right ?

FOX should get on her case and not let go.

#9  Drudge linked to a Breitbart report on the story datelined today, which adds:

Sinclair Media revealed Friday that Siraj Ibh Wahhaj owned a property near Tuskegee, Alabama, found to contain what an FBI search warrant described as a "makeshift military-style obstacle course" and a dead child "believed to belong to Wahhaj," prompting a child kidnapping charge following the dismissal of the child abuse charges in the New Mexico case. Police reportedly believe the terrorist training camp was designed for children’s use, not the adults in the compound.

That’s one dead child per compound thus far. Were they that careless, or were they consecrating their sites the old fashioned way?

#4  Wasn't one of these compounds found in New Mexico about a year ago?

#3  The name is familiar. It's the same guy/group that killed his kid last year in a New Mexico jihad training compound. They were training their kids to shoot up schools.

How the hell was he/his group released from the New Mexico manslaughter and terrorism charges?

#2  It's been known for quite some time by the people in the area. I believe this one is near Tuskeegee.
